The asymmetrical result is odd in this test. Would only have expected that on a bike with one chainstay or a MTB style single fork ("Lefty") or something else large and asymmetrical. Disk brakes can be seen in the data and the chainrings but that's pretty small.


Isn't it chainrings, chain, cassette, front and rear derailleurs, and the assymetrical dishing of the rear wheel to accommodate freehub body? Perhaps one bike does a poorer job of normalizing that difference, somehow. Or a "better" job of amplifying it. Or yeah, an assymetry in the frame design itself.

Eye catching on the graph. And interesting how the Andean is the only bike which attempts to fair the chainrings, perhaps they fucked it up and accidentally directed loads of air onto the drive chain or something weird.

Negative x axis on a yaw sweep the drive side, right Kiley?

Nowt better than a bit of uninformed speculation! :-)

Actually now I'm looking closer at the P5x it almost forms a pocket around that area. Maybe it's the p5x!
